YouTube frustration

[AtomicDog]

Why is it whenever anyone puts up anything even remotely Apollo related there, the thread is instantly infested by Hoax Believers - specifically the same four or five yahoos in thread after thread?

It's a shame that such a marvelous internet tool has been turned into a zoo, with the difference being that the feces-flinging monkeys are free to roam among the visitors.

I never read any of the comments on Youtube anyway - it's for watching videos, not having intelligent discussions.

Well, to be fair a lot of the videos that hoax believers also get 'infested' by us Apollo Truthers.
Just a thought.

Maybe if we had a HiDef You Tube things would be different. Muddy pixelized objects would dissapear, thus all the coke bottles, water towers, alien spaceships, plants on the moon, cables holding up the astronauts and the like could not exist.
How many times have I squinted at a video on YouTube trying to find something that someone says is there, only to be dissapointed (or pleased).

What I do like about YouTube is seeing old video of music acts that I grew up with.

What I like best is finding old cartoons I used to watch as a kid, and ones I never got to enjoy, especially the old Looney Tunes and Tex Avery stuff. It is also great for previewing music to see if I will like it.
( I then go and try and download it somewhere because I am NOT paying 20 bucks for ONE song.)

And thus a coherent and legitimate argument for installing iTunes is created quite out of the blue. Good luck with that.

I guess that's why hoax believers will often only discuss Apollo on YouTube and nowhere else. Except, of course, for forums that share their level of non-rational, anti-science.

I find you tube can be handy, for example looking up clips of low flying. Using it to present arguments it is rather limited. Maybe an aid to a discussion and link to it etc but the replies are limited on the site.

What does not really amaze me is the videos presented as evidence and they hold no real information or facts to back them up. I suppose they do not get a real world examination and a chance to get challenged. It would be interesting to see the makers of the videos, oh say radiation is a killer subject, publish a paper for peer review in the correct journals.

My favorite thing about YouTube is that I can upload my own brickfilms and make them easily accessable for everyone. Before YouTube, I had an extreme amount of trouble showing a brickfilm to family because they didn't have the right codec or didn't know how to open the file or couldn't download it because too big, etcetera.

Well i would except my computer fails the system requirments for iTunes rather heavily, AND I don't have a credit card.
